MOND is a small boutique hotel on the southern coast of Sri Lanka. The concrete structure was designed by the Swiss architects Abraha & Achermann and built by locals.
The visual identity was created as a simple system including logo, typography, colors, local textures and images. Complementary to the visual identity, spaces and objects were designed. The hotel’s shop and rooms were equipped with a specifically designed shelving system made of local rattan. Ceramic clothes hangers can be found in the bathrooms and the inner courtyard was covered with a huge fabric dyed with classic batik techniques and wax-painting. The main entry sign was produced locally from ceramic in collaboration with Jessica Fernando and is directly attached to the exposed concrete walls. The rest of the signage-system was laser-cut out of brushed stainless steel.
